We're excited about you because... You have a track record of optimizing People systems and driving a culture of continuous improvement and data orientation. You have a strong understanding of HR processes including recruiting, hiring and onboarding, performance/talent management, benefits, and payroll processing. You make sound recommendations about prioritization and tradeoffs when data and systems work compete for limited capacity.
